Nielsen, L. M. (2014). Debunking teachers resistant to teaching children to draw—a companion to citizenship for the future. Techne Series: Research in Sloyd Education and Craft Science A, 21(2). https://journals.oslomet.no/index.php/techneA/article/view/1264/Sammendrag
The hegemonic position of verbal text in formal education is in this article questioned. The increasing
need for competence related to complex visual communication is seen in relation to the education of
youngster to develop citizenship for future challenges. Traditions and attitudes in education of
children and youngsters (aged 6-12) is discussed in perspective of a teacher attitude I have chosen to
call “Resistance to Teaching Drawing” (RTTD). This RTTD-attitude is seen as a hindrance for the
development of design literacy for the future. By articulating the ideas of which this RTTD-attitude is
grounded, the position of the attitude might be reduced in practical education of children and
youngsters.
